Researchers can control the shape of a new material called a magnetic shape memory polymer with magnetic fields, which could be useful for future robots.
Perovskite nanocrystals hold promise for improving lasers, LEDs, and more—but durability is a problem. Plastic "hair" and a silica shell may change that.
The new system—featuring custom software and a liquid-handling robot—can create up to 384 different polymers at once, a huge increase over current methods.
